Da Pan is a playable character in Arknights: Endfield.
Description
“Oh. Thank you. You are being too kind. I’ll return this favor. Tell me if you need anything!”
Back in his hometown, Da Pan worked at the Hongshan Academy of Sciences (HAS) in various “discrete administrative support roles for key scientific research”, which is a fancy way of saying jobs like chef, electrician, carpenter, chauffeur, street vendor, and more. His latest assignment saw him being dispatched by the HAS (through Operator Chen Qianyu’s recommendation) to serve as a specialist liaison at Endfield Industries. Among the long list of his employment history, Da Pan treats chef work as the crowning achievement of his professional career. He is extremely passionate about cooking and readily engages himself in the creation of new recipes, inventing fusion dishes, and identifying novel ingredients. His favorite pastime is to prepare palatable cuisine that diners might enjoy. Da Pan carries a special bottle with him wherever he goes. It doesn’t look like anything special to most people, but anyone familiar with the writing of Yan would wonder about its origins. However, if that person happens to be from Hongshan, they would immediately recognize its origins and significance, because they know very well that the bottle is an item of honor only awarded to “major contributors to science”. “Need help at the canteen? I could make a few dishes, quick and easy.”
